Read the text – Matthew 15:29-16:12
How do we read the signs today? Are we willing to see, hear and respond – especially when it is for our own good?

Jesus, the son of David and Son of Man point us to the Kingdom of God. Despite criticism, Jesus shows that a Kingdom does not function when divided. In this Bible talk, Jared Bartlett teaches that Jesus’ Kingdom is Real, with real power, real judgement, real signs, and real priorities.
We love satire when it comes to political cartoons. Often we see our national leaders’ faults comically exaggerated. But what about satire when it comes to God’s prophets? Jonah is a famed biblical story where we find God’s hero, the prophet Jonah, neglect his responsibility and flee from God. Meanwhile, the city of Nineveh, famed for their evil, turn to God after a surprisingly short sermon!
This is not a story about a giant fish, but rather a God who shows grace and mercy to wicked people, despite his prophet’s rebellion.
This talk will focus on God’s faithfulness in saving Nineveh, despite Jonah’s begrudging obedience. The question remains… are you glad to see God save evil people?
